Modeling of a Fluidized-Bed Methane Steam Reformer

Considering improved heat transfer, uniformity of catalyst distribution and virtual elimination of diffusion limitations as the major advantages of fluidized beds, it seems preferable to employ such a reactor for reforming of natural gas. In this study, by considering the presented simulators and hydrodynamic structure of the fluidized beds, a simulation model is developed in order to predict the performance of the fluidized bed reactor of steam methane reforming in a complex process. The results obtained from the simulation of this model in Hysys 3.1 environment are compared with other models and experimental data. Better agreement is found between the model predictions and experimental data than the recent studies.
